We only had a few hours in the studio, so I spent them working on my vocal for "It Pushes Back" (formerly called "Shivers and -Umbles," which was formerly known as "Slinkitzer"). We ran into an all-too-common problem: I loved the sound of the scratch vocal, and we were unable to match it on the day we set out to do the final vocal. Unfortunately, there were too many problems with the scratch (the vocal in the clip I posted on January 10) for us to keep it - it was the first time I actually sang the song, so there were some melody and timing problems, and I had made some lyric changes. I can live with the vocal as it is now, but I am not in love with the sound or the performance, so I'll probably revisit it if we have time.
While I tried to tweak the vox, Joe worked on a Casio keyboard line for "Sunday" (formerly known as "Convey"), and Jonathan played with some ideas for "I Let It Stay," the pop song with hate in its heart.
